iMessage lately has been a POS

Over the past 2 days iMessage has been complete crap. almost every message (85%) i send either has a delay to it or it just wont deliver. I end up having to retype my message (or copy and paste) and then make sure i hit send as text message.

has anyone else had recent frustrations with this? and both myself and the person i'm talking to have great service and a good data connection.

iMessages has always been crap, to me. I commend Apple for actually integrating more features instead of cluttering the homescreen with more applications but it's just not reliable and half the time I find myself just switching to Whatsapp - at least I know that works, or it'll tell me what's going on when there's an issue.
